NovelEnglishChapter 0209
The excitement in the car from Morgan was palpable, as we set off toward the Lotus Shadow Pack. | think she
was excited at the prospect of introducing everyone to her fated mate, but with her this giddy, and the dread
filling my stomach... not to mention the fact Asher was constantly at the back of my mind, it could be one hell of
a long drive! Marc had offered to drive us in his pick-up truck, so Morgan and | had packed our things up and
rushed out to meet him in the parking spaces outside the packhouse.
He was standing waiting, leaning against his car with the biggest smile upon his face the moment his eyes had
settled upon Morgan. And it had taken him no tat all to load his truck up with our bags. As we were getting
into the truck, movement near the doors of the packhouse had caught my eyes and Morgan had very, non-
discreetly, cleared her throat too, and when | looked up, it was Asher. Looking to be returning in nothing but a
pair of trousers. | could only asshe had been on a run. No shirt... his toned chest on display... looking
perfect... like it had done only yesterday. That muscly chest, dappled with dark hair... the chest | had only
yesterday rested my head on in sheer bliss...
My heart rate increased at the sight of him. And, | was about to rush to him to say goodbye, when his dark gaze
fell upon us, he gavea swift nod, before he moved inside the packhouse. My heart fell at his actions. Had the
fact | was choosing to follow the orders of my father and Alpha irritated him that much? | had quickly got into the
truck, and allowed Marc to drive us away from the packhouse, knowing we needed to get on the road anyway.
But now, my mind was whirling with doubts of Asher even harder than it had been before...
"It is only two days, Bai, then you can fix everything.” Morgan says suddenly, takingby surprise. | glared at
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇther. | didn't know that Marc was aware of everything between Asher and I.
Marc's gaze flicked back atfrom the rear-view mirror, and he chuckled. "What you looking at your sister like
that for? For implying there was something between you and Ash? I've known him a long tnow, Bailey. | knew
something or someone had got under his skin soon after you had arrived. Then, when | saw how he reacted that
t| helped you when you were lost, | knew he was confused about you. Things evolved from there, as you well
know. | just think Ash has battled his own emotions. Scared to admit how he feels, scared he is betraying his own
past."
| released a deep breath at Marc's
words, and felt so bad for Asher. | think deep down | knew all of that. But hearing it from somebody else who
knew Asher well, made it seem more real. But, knowing he had likedfrom then seemed crazy! He acted like |
was a pain in his ass...
"I think things may be a mess." | muttered.
"Because he has a grumpy ass on him because you had to cto the wedding of your former fated mate?"
Marc questioned and | nodded.
But, realizing he wasn't looking because he was focused on driving, | whispered. "Yes. But, it isn't what | want to
do. Our Dad expects us to do what is asked of him. Keep his reputation perfect."
Marc nodded. "I understand. My Dad
was similar. High expectations.
Could be a pain in the ass
sometimes. But, there does ca
point, Bai, where you have to consider what you want. | am guessing that is why you haven't denounced your old
pack and officially joined ours?"
Morgan looked atwith curiosity, and | shrugged. "I think | always hoped I could when | found a job. Get away
from Miles and his control for good. But when the tcame, | knew it would be frowned upon. | was scared |
would be letting my Dad down. Worried it could affect his role as Beta. Our pack doesn't really accept people
denouncing themselves. Reasons for leaving a pack are for a mate, or being kicked out. Though my Dad did
allowto chere to work, which had madehope, with a little time, he would considerformally
becoming a pack member there. But, | didn't want to disappoint him or have people questioning his choice
either."
